Best Album From Terrorizer's Most Important Albums Of The Nineties

Killing Joke made it on this list!

i own like 40 of these. i adore a ton of them. i didn't even hesitate: in the nightside eclipse.

and that's OVER take as needed for pain and white light from the mouth of infinity, which are two of my favorite albums EVER. And over Entombed! and storm of the light's bane!!!!! but i can't deny emperor their due.

Killing Joke made it on this list!

I'm torn between the two Kyuss albums. So many good albums on there but it has to be one of those.

Tricky. I love Dirt and Chaos AD, though I'm tempted to say "You had me at Necrotism".

it's just so wrong to vote against brave murder day for any reason. this thread is evil.

Too many choices. Brain shutting down.

haha if slint wins this poll there will be TURMOIL IN HADES

*votes for Through Silver In Blood*

Too little too late.

Pretty good list actually, but...Alternative 4?????

Anyway, voted Burzum.

lots and lots of goodnesses here, but angel dust takes the prize.

So you're asking us to pick the BEST and not the most influential/important one, right?

Yes

lots and lots of goodnesses here, but angel dust takes the prize.

Gah, I didn't even notice Angel Dust. This doesn't make things any easier.

Play them all then decide.

Voted for Cynic, but there's way too many choices.

"Nevermind" may deserve a vote. The rest largely don't

mmm, the ninetees were a good decade for metal weren't they?

Really difficult to pick one, so I'll just post something pedantic instead:
Naked City came out in 1989.

wrong, sir.

naked city's debut came out in 1989. torture garden was 1991.

actually, maybe not. earache is divided on the subject.

Well AMG & Discogs.com list it as 1989. I thought it was 1989. Dunno then.

I'm not sure neither. I always thought 91. earache list both dates depending on where you look. probably a pre-black box reissue thing. my apologies.

I thought Geir would've voted Depeche Mode

"Nevermind" may deserve a vote. The rest largely don't

and how many of 'the rest' have you heard?

What's the worst band up there? I'm going for Type O Negative of the ones I've heard.

Wouldn't Geir quite like Dirt? It's more melodically complex than Nevermind.

xpost: type O? that sounds about right.

Cradle of Filth. Even Pantera had slightly more merit ,unfortunately they also had Phil Anselmo.

uuurrrruggghhh... this is tough

ok: A Blaze In The Northern Sky

Cradle of Filth have reasonable comedy value. Vulgar Display of Power is a fucking incredible album, ubertwat of a frontman notwithstanding.

Cradle of Filth are really good at what they do. Whether or not you like what they do is another thing entirely. You could say the same about Pantera and Type O Negative. maybe not sui generis, but they all created their own distinct universes.

I just cant take cof seriously at all. If they didn't take themselves so seriously it wouldn't be so bad.

I once saw a photoshoot of them in some metal magazine, the theme of which was 'Cradle of Filth about the house', Dani doing the washing up in marigolds and corpse paint, etc. That was pretty funny.

There was a few fans round here around the same age as I and they thought they were really hard walking around wearing cof shirts. They used to slag off loads of things as "false metal". I wonder if they're still into cof or embarrassed about ever liking them.

That nun tshirt stuff was embarrassing too. Tower Records in Glasgow got raided because they sold that.

That list is full of win!

It is indeed! I'm still very torn.

Wait, no Downward Spiral!

it's gotta Swans something-or-other

* gotta be

90% of these cds just made me shoot my wad

Sigh's Hail Horror Hail has gotta bein the top 5.

haven't listened to it in years, but it's one of those albums you don't forget easily....funny though for how eclectic the album is, my favorite bits are still the traditional 80s metal bits

How am I supposed to choose between Kokosofen and Possession? NO FAIR.

Is every album going to get 1 vote each then?

I voted Blues For The Red Sun as that was such an important album for me.

Went for Angel Dust in the end. It's the one I still listen to most.

It's a classic for sure. Hope Meantime gets a vote.

was Streetcleaner an 80's album?

Streetcleaner is here "Terrorizer" magazine's "Best Album Of The Eighties"

guess that answers my question. lovethat album

It's a terrific album.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Did you vote for it then, Bo?

dunno that it's my favorite in the list, but....

I wonder where my copy of it is....

I need to get Streetcleaner on vinyl.

this is one hell of a task. first of all, to narrow it down to the true contenders:

dirt, tales from the thousand lakes, slaughter of the soul, heartwork, violator (important and fantastic sure, but interesting to see it on such a list), storm of the light's bane, anthems to the welkin at dusk, in the nightside eclipse, angel dust, in on the kill taker (but what's it doing here?...oh well), ritual de lo habitual, blues for the red sun, rust in peace, turn loose the swans, through silver in blood, orchid (though it certainly isn't the best opeth record of the 90s by a longshot), the shape of punk to come, spiderland, white light from the mouth of infinity

and to narrow it down even further:

dirt, violator, storm of the light's bane, in the nightside eclipse, angel dust, in on the kill taker, rust in peace, turn loose the swans, the shape of punk to come, spiderland

even further (damn this is tough):

dirt, in the nightside eclipse, in on the kill taker, rust in peace, spiderland

oh shit, i'm gonna have to give this to alice in chains or slint, particularly since that's about my 4th favourite fugazi record (still amazing, however). not often i'd vote against RIP either, and in the nightside... is pretty much the quintessential black metal album (though i ultimately prefer ulver's 'nattens madrigal')

um, slint. sorry to do all this and come up with something so predictable, but there you have it. one of my favourite records ever.

In terms of actual 'importance' rather than just 'goodness', surely the Black Album is a heavyweight contender for the top spot. It was unquestionably instrumental in the development of metal throughout the decade, though it contributed to a direction in the genre that many people dislike.

It was instrumental in the development thru to St Anger. So it doesn't deserve any votes!

um, slint. sorry to do all this and come up with something so predictable

I've heard about 50 of these and voted Spiderland with no shame or hesitation. No Immo.

Slint making a late run for the winning line

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

No Killing Joke votes?

ew

Roxy is not amused

Strange results.

Roxy otm.

Not as strange as Primus winning the 80s poll

Lots of great albums in joint 2nd place

I wonder why alex didn't vote Killing Joke

Maybe he's not on poll patrol.

He posted up above
